High-speed doors in Peterborough

In short

High-speed fabric and spiral doors for factories, warehouses and food sites in Peterborough. We survey the opening, look at your traffic and set up activation and safety so the door opens when needed and closes straight after.

Town: Peterborough
Postcode district: PE1
Area: Cambridgeshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
Breakaway bottom bars. Bottom bars that release on impact to limit damage to the door and the vehicle.

What this work can involve

Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Peterborough?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions

Do high-speed doors in Peterborough need more servicing than standard doors?

Usually, yes, because they cycle so often. We base the service interval on the cycle counter and the manufacturer's guidance rather than a fixed annual visit, and can set up a planned maintenance schedule.

How much does a high-speed door cost in Peterborough?

Our guide price is £7,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a high-speed fabric door and £17,995 to £34,995 for a spiral (rigid slat) door, supplied and fitted. We survey your Peterborough opening free of charge and then confirm a fixed price in writing.

Which type of high-speed door suits our Peterborough site?

Fabric doors suit most internal openings and many sheltered external ones. Spiral doors suit exposed external openings and sites that need insulation and security from the same door. We recommend a type after looking at traffic, exposure and temperature on the survey.
